2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website owner.
Cookies are sent from the website's server to your browser and stored on your device. When you return to the same website, your browser sends the stored cookie back to the server, which allows the website to recognize you and remember your preferences or actions.
There are different types of cookies based on who sets them and how long they last:
- First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Punch Pizza and are used to enhance your experience on our website.
- Third-Party Cookies: These are set by third-party services (such as Google Analytics or advertising networks) whose content appears on our website.
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They help our website remember what you selected on previous pages during a single browsing session.
- Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period of time (defined in the cookie) or until you manually delete them. They help us remember your preferences the next time you visit.
3. How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit pizzapunch-food.rest, our web server sends a cookie to your browser. Your browser stores this cookie locally on your device. The next time you visit our website, your browser automatically sends the stored cookie back to our server. This process allows us to:
- Recognize you as a returning visitor and maintain your session
- Remember your preferences, such as language or location settings
- Analyze how you interact with our website to improve our services

- Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
In addition to cookies, we and our partners may use similar technologies such as web beacons (also known as tracking pixels), pixel tags, and local storage. These technologies work in a similar way to cookies and help us gather information about how visitors use our website.
